Volvo C70 coupe - now with naturally-aspirated engine
Buyers of the Volvo C70 coupe can now choose another engine alternative.
The five-cylinder turbocharged engines are being joined by a five-cylinder,
naturally-aspirated engine.
The 2,5-litre, 165-bhp engine has been available to car buyers since early spring. In June it
will be replaced by a new and revised 2,4-litre version with 170 bhp and a maximum
torque of 230 Nm.
This engine, just like its predecessor, is a member of Volvo's five-cylinder engine family
and is being produced at the engine plant in Skövde in Sweden.
The revised engines have several advantages:
•
Higher torque in the lower part of the engine speed range gives normal motorists a
more lively car
•
Lighter crankshaft movements and reduced friction between the moving parts of the
engine result in quieter operation
•
A number of new technical design solutions help to reduce fuel consumption by up to 8
per cent
•
Lower emissions
Same chassis and wheels
The basic version of the latest coupe has the same chassis and wheels as the 2.5-litre
version with a light-pressure turbocharger.
With acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 8.6 seconds (manual) and a top speed of 215 km/h,
this 170 bhp engine also guarantees the dynamic driving pleasure which characterises the
Volvo C70 coupe.
The Volvo C70 coupe is also available with:
a five-cylinder, 2.3-litre turbocharged engine with an output of 240 bhp and maximum
torque of 330 Nm
a five-cylinder, 2.5-litre engine with a light-pressure turbocharger, an output of 193 bhp
and maximum torque of 270 Nm
In certain markets, the coupe is also available with 2.0-litre turbos (163 or 225 bhp).
